Ah, well - there's the "kernel-source-foo.i386.rpm" RPM which installs
source for the user in /usr/src/linux-2.4, and then there's the
"kernel-foo.src.rpm" SRPM which is the "source" from which you build all
of the kernel RPMs are built, and installs source and patches in
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES. It does get tricky. :)
kernel-source is for compiling kernels,
kernel.src.rpm is for building RPMS.
